Hey! I found a canvas 😁
This is the first thing I've painted in three years and it's not 'good' but I'm thrilled with it because I made it. Bad art made by humans is superior to the very best that AI can do. ❤️

I heard a great quote on a show I was watching recently and I’m going to paraphrase:
I have something the oligarchs and rich pricks will never have; I have enough.
May you also have enough. 🫶🏻❤️

Oh hi. Drawing practice. His neck/jaw is a little f***ed, but I was nursing a toddler while I did it, so oh well.
I may resurrect my grandparents tradition of making hand-drawn cards for all the kids at Christmas. Including my kids they seriously have around 50 great-grandchildren...

“Smear microscopy is basically how we’ve been diagnosing tuberculosis since 1882, and I really think it’s time to say goodbye”

My husband had to work sick yesterday. He had to work sick today. He'll have to work sick tomorrow.
If I get sick I'll have to manage the kids and house by myself like usual, because my husband can't miss work and we can't afford childcare.

This year has affected me in ways I never could have anticipated...I think what I'm feeling right now is neither empathy, nor sympathy...it's pity. I don't think I've ever felt that before, and it's strange.
